Explanation:
Total number of stereo isomers of [Co(acac)2BrCl]− are 3 i.e. cis, trans, optical.
Explanation:
The formula of a coordination complex is written in a different order than its name. The chemical symbol of the metal center is written first.
The ligands are written next, with neutral ligands coming before anionic ligands. If there is more than one anion or neutral ligand, they are written in alphabetical order according to the first letter in their chemical formula.
Explanation:
The secondary valency is equal to the coordination number the secondary valency are non ionizable valencies. These are satisfied by neutral molecules or negative ions.
For example in [Ni(CO)4] the coordination number of Ni metal is four and its secondary valency is also four.
Explanation:
In this case both the central atom as well as ligands are present in the coordination sphere. The legands are named first in alphabetical order before the name of central atom or ion. Names of the anionic ligands end with suffix '-o'. The name of the central metal atom is written at the end along with its oxidation state in Roman numeral, which is (II) for the central metal atom "platinum". Note the "chlorido" is preferred term/ name over chloro for chloride ion as a ligand as per modern trend.
Explanation:
Crystal Field Stabilization Energy(CFSE) is proportional to the frequency of the absorbed light. The emitted colors are red, green and blue. The corresponding absorbed colors are green, red and orange.
So the first complex will be blue, second is red and third is green.
Explanation:
Since 4 amino groups are present, it will be called as tetrammine.
Since copper(II) is the central metal, it will be tetrammine copper(II). Note that we can determine the oxidation number of copper by charge balance.
Now finally since sulphate is the counter ion, it's full name will be tetrammine copper(II) sulphate.
Explanation:
When excess of KCN is added to an aqueous solution of CuSO4 then-
Initially, cupric cyanide is formed, Cu(CN)2.
CuSO4 + 2KCN → K2CO4 + Cu(CN)2
Cupric Cyanide will decompose to produce cuprous cyanide,Cu2(CN)2.
2Cu(CN)2 → 2Cu2(CN)2 + 2(CN)
Cuprous cyanide reacts with an excess of KCN to form a complex, K3[Cu(CN)4], which is a stable complex.
CuCN + 3Ka → K3[Cu(CN)4].

Explanation:
Linear combination of two hybridized orbitals, belonging to two atoms and each having one electron leads to formation of sigma bond.
Explanation:
Number of hybrid orbitals formed is equal to number of atomic orbitals involved in hybridisation. $\pi$ bonds will be formed always by pure orbitals (p or d orbitals). Hybrid orbitals arrange around the centre of atom gymmetrically depending on number of bond pairs and lone pairs.
Explanation:
Iodine heptafluoride, also known as iodine(VII) fluoride or iodine fluoride, is an interhalogen compound with the chemical formula IF7. It has an unusual pentagonal bipyramidal structure.
Explanation:
The stability of complexes is represented by the magnitude of its "Stability constant (K)". A higher value of stability constant of certain complex denotes its greater stability. Mathematically, the same hols good for log K values. Among the given log K values of different complexes, it is noted that the log K value for complex at (ii) is maximum (ie = 27.3). Hence it is most stable.
Explanation:
Anti knocking compounds are the chemicals which reduce knocking for improving the quality of gasoline. example:- Tetraethyl lead (TEL).

All are double salts.
Only [Co(NH3)6].Cl3 is complex compound.
In each of the given complex, Fe is in +3 oxidation state. As C2O42- is didentate chelating ligand, it forms chelate rings and hence (c) out of complexes given above is the most stable complex.
Explanation:
[Co(en)3]2(SO4)3
Oxidation of en = 0 SO4 = −2 then we get CO = +3 as given.
And tris is used as two numbers are present at that same spot.
where 2 is called "di" and 3 is called "tris".
Explanation:
The developed photography film is due to Ag.
The treatment of the exposed photgraphic film with reducing agent is called developing of the film.
A developer is usually an alkaline solution of hydroquinone or alkaline solution of pyrogallol.
The pairs activated by light are reduced to deposit more of black silver.
Explanation:
The coordination sphere of a coordination compound or complex consists of the central metal atom/ion plus its attached ligands. The coordination sphere is usually enclosed in brackets when written in a formula. The coordination number is the number of donor atoms bonded to the central metal atom/ion.
Most metal complexes or compounds except for alloys. Specific examples include hemoglobin and Ru3(CO)12.
So the total electron should be 18
valence electron of iron is = 8
CO gives = 2e−, NO gives 3e−
18 = 8 + (2 × 2) + (3 × x)
18 - 8 - 4 = 3x
x = 2
Explanation:
The complex [Cr(NH3)3Cl3] is of the type Ma3b3, has two isomers cis and trans or facial and meridional.
Explanation:
Trifluorophosphine is PF3.
The formula should be Li[Ni(PF3)3I].
Explanation:
NO2 and SCN are ambidentate ligands hence, show linkage isomerism.
Explanation:
Complexes in which a metal is bound to more than one kind of donor groups are known as heteroleptic. This condition is satisfied by complexes mentioned at (ii) & (iv) where the donor groups are NH3 & Cl2. Therefore, complexes at (ii) & (iv) are heteroleptic.
Explanation:
Transition elements form complexes readily because
Due to lower size and higher charge, they have high charge density.
They have vacant d orbital in which a ligand can donate its electron and form complex.
Explanation:
Fe3+ = 1s22s22p63s23p63d5
d orbital is half filled.So ferric ion is stable.
Explanation:
The primary and secondary valency of cobalt ion is 3 and 6 respectively.
The charge on cobalt ion is +3 which balances −2 charge on carbonate ion and −1 charge on chloride ion. Hence, the primary valency of cobalt ion is 3.
Cobalt ion is surrounded by four monodentate and one bidentate ligand (4 ammonia and on carbonate) in the coordination sphere. Hence, its coordination number (secondary valency) is 6.
Explanation:
Hybridization is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals.
Atomic orbitals with similar energy combine to give degenerated hybrid orbitals.
The number of combining atomic orbitals is equal to the hybridised orbitals.
They involve redistribution of electrons of combined atomic orbital to hybrid orbitals.
Explanation:
